Description

A building plot in Silverdale with detailed planning consent for a detached three-bedroom home. Lancaster City Council granted consent under reference 25/01255/FUL on 3 February 2026 for a dwelling with associated access. The proposed accommodation extends to approximately 114 sqm (1,227 sq ft), with an entrance hall, cloakroom, utility room and open-plan kitchen, dining and living space on the ground floor. Upstairs, the plans show three double bedrooms, including one with an en suite, and a separate bathroom. The proposed outside layout includes parking for around two vehicles, a seating terrace and lawn. The consent seeks an energy-efficient design incorporating an air-source heat pump, solar panels and an electric vehicle charging point. Mains electricity, water, drainage and gas are stated to be in the local vicinity; the buyer would be responsible for installing a sewage treatment plant and should make their own enquiries about services and connection requirements. Silverdale has local shops and eateries, a primary school, a doctors' surgery, a golf course and access to the Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape. The listing also notes Silverdale railway station, road links to the M6 and access to walking routes, the Lakes and Dales. Viewings are by appointment through Davis & Bowring.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

60out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £150,000, the asking price is exceptionally low against the local £/sqf benchmark, making this a strong acquisition opportunity on price. The appeal is the detailed planning consent for a detached three-bedroom home in Silverdale, with proposed parking, a terrace and garden, plus energy-efficiency measures. The plot is cleared but unfinished, so the main value-creation project is to deliver the consented dwelling and complete the outdoor space. The overall score is C: the price and location stand out, while construction costs and end-value economics are not established by the available figures.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at an asking price well below the local £/sqf benchmark.
  • Build the consented detached three-bedroom dwelling, with proposed parking, terrace and lawn.
  • Create an energy-efficient home in a well-connected village setting close to coastal and countryside walks.

Key risks

  • Confirm the planning consent, its conditions and technical feasibility before proceeding.
  • Establish the cost and programme for the full construction project, including the stated need for a sewage treatment plant.
